Peter Brown headed towards the classroom. Their class was considered a forsaken one in the school, consisting of 45 students who were basically selected from the underperforming students in the whole grade. Although Peter was considered an average student in the class, he was actually ranked quite low in the whole grade.
Since the students in their class came from diverse backgrounds, and some even had influential family backgrounds, the school basically allowed the class to run its course without intervening; as a result, nobody cared if they attended class or not.
As everyone else put it, all they needed was a high school diploma at the end.
When Peter entered the classroom, everything seemed very familiar. Only about ten students who wanted to learn were sitting there, chatting. When he looked at the teacher, the teacher appeared calm and didn't say anything about Peter skipping class. After Peter reported in, the teacher let him enter the classroom.
